Tinder – Distance Updates

It uses to be that if one person logged on, tinder obviously calculated your distance to matches, so…. if you log in at home, and he logged in at home, it would show, say 8 miles away. If he genuinely travelled 1000 miles away and DIDN’T log in, but you did, it would still show 8 miles away. If he logs in too, THEN it will show 1000 miles. So to the poster above, for his to have changed when he was travelling means he must have somehow been online whilst away

So if mike can’t get a response he comes back as Bob? Lol

YaGirl,

“look for friends from high school”???

There’s an app for this and it’s called Facebook.

I think if you just delete the app you could be found. However what was his last used date? He could get away with that, but saying he downloaded it to search for high school friends?!!!! No way…..he’d have his marching orders if he was mine, sorry

When was he last active?

Hi, it seems like people here are experts of Tinder’s distance function, so I really hope you could help me.

I’ve been dating with a guy from Tinder for the last 4 months, and we’re going serious. He always tells me that he’s fallen for me, and I feel that he really has. But what has been making me wonder is that he’s still a Tinder Plus user – I can tell as he hides his age and distance.

But recently, he started displaying his distance, while he still hides his age (meaning, he still is a paying user.) His distance rarely changes, so I can tell that he’s not a frequent user. What makes me wonder is why he decided to show his distance.

Even if you’re Tinder Plus user, you can’t see distance from others once you hide yours?
If that’s the case, I wonder if he decided not to hide the distance, so that he can check where I am/if I’m still using Tinder…?

I know, it’s such a ridiculous/pathetic mind game, but I feel awkward to tell him to delete his account just yet…
It would be greatly appreciated if you could let me know – Thank you!!!

I have tried to locate this and can’t seem to find it online is there altnatives

Why is this important?

People, when distance changes by a few mile there is a good change that the signal is bounced between different cell towers. That can happen due phone traffic, weather or a tower is simply down. If you life in a city like NYC, the high buildings around you are another reason why you are changing the tower, even if you be still on the same place. So don’t spend to much time thinking about it. And anyway, who gives you the right to be a control freak in such an early stage of a relationship? If you are already doing this, you will never end up with this person. Who wants someone like this in his life?

I have a similar question. I spent a short but great time with this girl I met on tinder. When we first matched, it said she was a mile away. I deleted my profile, and months later made a new one. We matched again, but now it says she is 162 miles away. I only have the basic tinder (no purchase), so how could we match if she is over one hundred miles? And can she see my message? If she is still on my list, she hasn’t unmatched me, right? Would I see a message if she sent one? Thanks.

So this year it seems that tinder distance has changed to grids? When the significant other is at my house it still shows his distance at work? Strange. His house distance varies from 62 to 67 even though I know 100% that he’s at home. Has anyone else notice these changes to location?
Tinder location is constantly inconsistent

Bit late to the game but have a question that hasn’t been asked yet. I spotted my ex on tinder for the 2nd time since we broke up, the first time she set up an acc which was no longer visible 12 hours later. Than about 3 weeks later the same profile appears with no changes at all (a carbon copy of the profile I found weeks earlier). Now the question I’m trying ask is when I change the distance to 19 km it says “there is no one to match to” but the place I live tinder isn’t a thing so normal but once I change the search from 19 km to 21 km the profile appears saying “19km away” and I remember earlier in the day I was even further away so it should therefore have said a even further distance but when I when I checked it than said “16km”. What I’m trying to wonder is if this means the account is inactive or if this could mean anything, I know that she is moving away for a year in a week or so so found her using tinder now of all times quite weird plus when you add in the fact that it’s identical to the account she had afew weeks ago.

That’s not important, bar my own personal reasons I just find it strange how this keeps happening. I haven’t seen a question about it so thought someone might have an idea.
